Summary

Vulnerability in Suricata's SMB parser can retain force-completed transactions on flows with one-directional payload, leading to unbounded per-flow state and CPU/memory exhaustion. Sustained one-directional SMB traffic can be exploited.

Risk Assessment

The risk includes potential DoS attacks via resource exhaustion, disrupting network monitoring operations.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update Suricata to version 8.0.6 or 7.0.17, where the vulnerability is fixed.

Original NVD description (English source)

Suricata is a network Intrusion Detection System, Intrusion Prevention System and Network Security Monitoring engine. Prior to 7.0.17 and 8.0.6, the SMB parser can retain force-completed transactions on flows where Suricata sees payload in only one direction, including async-oneside flows, because cleanup waits for inspection in the unseen direction. The transaction creation paths in rust/src/smb can exceed the intended SMB_MAX_TX bound, and cleanup repeatedly scans the growing list. Sustained one-directional SMB traffic can therefore cause unbounded per-flow state and CPU and memory exhaustion. This issue is fixed in versions 8.0.6 and 7.0.17.
